Separation anxiety, depression, generalized anxiety. These are just some of what kids are dealing with through this pandemic. Masks, in particular, are causing psychological harm to our children. We are messing with kids’ brains, raising them to have separation anxiety and fears, and they are being shunned if they do not wear their masks. The difference between causing strain and causing stress, is that kids cannot deal with strain. That is why they are having so much difficulty through this pandemic. Mike Slater shares his fired up take on the isolating and psychological effects of kids wearing masks.
Why is that Andrew Cuomo finally decided to resign from office? If the sexual harassment claims weren’t bad enough, he also has the horrendous nursing home scandal, as David Harsanyi calls “the deadliest mistake of any governing body during the pandemic.” Senior writer at National Review Online and Author of ‘First Freedom,’ David Harsanyi joins Mike Slater to give us an in-depth perspective on the nursing home scandal, as well as what he believes is behind Cuomo’s decision to resign as Governor of New York.
It’s time to find some perspective on COVID-19, says Mike Slater. That’s the only way we will achieve peace of mind with the virus. Fortunately Mike has plenty of perspective to provide on the show. Plus, Andrew Cuomo has resigned but not for the reason he should have. David Harsanyi joins the show with a fired up take.
The twisted, twisted truth. Remember ‘Central Park Karen,’ as this woman was spitefully called? The story of a ‘racist’ white woman, who called the cops on a black man who was bird watching, after he asked her to put her dog on a leash in the park? Well, it turns out that the media pushed this narrative, without having the full scope of what happened that day. Mike Slater has the TRUE STORY on Central Park Karen, and why we should ALWAYS question all the single narratives.
Is it time to ditch those surgical and cloth masks? It has been repeatedly pushed on us that we must wear these cloth coverings on our faces to prevent the spread of COVID-19. This mask hysteria that has spread everywhere. It’s the fear and panic that the CDC and government have instilled in us, causing many Americans to believe that masks are the answer to everything nowadays. Today, Mike Slater makes his case and point, as he sets up the evidence as to why those surgical and cloth masks don’t work. Slater also reveals the three conditions as to who, when, and why you should wear the EFFECTIVE N95 masks.
Eventually the truth comes out, such has been the case with the Covington kid, Jussie Smollett, the Colorado Rockies and now Central Park Karen. Mike Slater also believes the truth has come out on masks and he’s got plenty of studies to prove his point. Plus, Newsweek’s Josh Hammer joins the show to explain why Democrats can no longer avoid their own hypocrisy.
Asian-Americans study twice as many hours, believe in hard work and practice, excel in math and science, and a vast majority live in or come from two-parent households. They also have to score 44 points higher on ACTs to have the same chance of college admissions as a black person. So, why is it that Asian-Americans are discriminated against at Ivy League Schools, such as Harvard? Why is it that the Left goes after Asian success, and are so against meritocracy? Kenny Xu, Author of “An Inconvenient Minority: The Attack on Asian American Excellence and the Fight for Meritocracy,” sits down with Mike Slater to break down the Left’s anti-Asian discrimination, critical race theory at Harvard, and the impact of victimization based on race.
Our ‘experts’ and government officials have repeatedly violated our trust, wreaking havoc on our world during this COVID-19 pandemic. Families are now wearing masks inside their own homes, Australia is telling parents to keep a distance from their own children and not be friendly, and in New York City, you are told to not speak to anyone on the subways. Mike Slater details just how ridiculous the state of everything is nowadays, the mistrust of our experts, and how history is repeating itself, once again.
The government is way too involved in the lives of Americans and that has led to the country’s morals being flipped upside-down. Look no further than The Muppets for the latest example. Plus, Mike Slater does a deep dive into the state of government power alongside former Congressman Bob Barr.
Many of the global brands that we buy products from, and are in our homes today, are actually made in slave labor camps. What many companies like Nike do, is they say they are not using forced labor to make these products, but technically they indirectly are through the supply chain and contracts they have with smaller companies, who have used forced labor. The Chinese call it a ‘vocational training program.’ Weifeng Zhong gives us an in-depth perspective of the slave labor camps in China, as well as the Chinese genocide against Uyghurs.
The CCP’s goal is to overtake the United States in every aspect, whether it be diplomatically, economically, or in the military perspective. The belt and road initiative is China’s way of spreading their economic power, by investing in certain infrastructure in countries that are economically strapped for money. This all supports the CCP, because they come in to countries like Central America, South America, as well as Africa, take control of the ports, and then they become indebted to the CCP. The CCP is doing it across the country and in different hemispheres. This plan then downgrades America’s Democracy. Chad Wolf, Chairman at the Center for Homeland Security & Immigration, sits down with Slater on this special episode, to bring us all the important details on China’s quest for world domination with the belt and road initiative, and why America needs to step up and be more aggressive towards it.
The Chinese Communist Party has been at it for decades: methodically insinuating itself into American culture, to destroy our individual rights and liberties. But hey, we already know this! The question is why? During this special, Mike Slater and guests reveal the CCP’s long-game: global economic dominance and their blueprint to achieve it. What is Belt & Road…and why does China’s presence in Africa matter to you? How much of Hollywood is literally owned by China? What about the medicine you take? And oh yeah, Big Tech. Knowledge is power, so don’t miss this hour!
